The Mount Pleasant Press, which printed our Christ- 

 mas cover, sends us the following holiday greeting : 



'■ We send good will to those we serve and to those who 

 serve us ; and we ask as much as we send, believing 

 that friendly business is the best business. We wish 

 every proper joy of 1905's most joyous time to all." i ^ 



To the readers of Gleanings, and our friends all over 

 the world, we extend the sentiment of the above ; and 

 for each and all may 1905 be the best year yet.

 16 pages, giving valuable information for the beginner.

 reads any of the above languages.
